Welcome to Portesham – Dorset Heritage in the Heart of the Countryside. Nestled between Weymouth and Dorchester, Portesham (also known locally as "Possum") is a charming village in West Dorset rich in history and natural beauty. Surrounded by chalk hills and close to the coast, it offers a tranquil rural lifestyle with strong community roots. The village lies within the Dorset Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, making it popular with walkers, cyclists, and those looking to escape city life. Portesham has ancient origins, with connections to the Bronze Age, and the nearby Hell Stone chambered tomb is a notable prehistoric landmark. The village also has links to Vice-Admiral Thomas Hardy—Lord Nelson’s famous flag captain—who was born nearby and commemorated by the Hardy Monument, which stands proudly above the village.
Today, Portesham is a vibrant community, home to a mix of character cottages, converted barns, and newer properties. Local amenities include a pub, community hall, and a farm shop. For residents and holiday home owners alike, reliable, local services are essential—especially when it comes to maintaining or upgrading electrical systems.
That’s where Tyne Electrical Services Ltd comes in.
We provide a full range of expert electrical services to clients in Portesham and the surrounding area. Whether you own a period property, manage a rental, or are building or renovating, we’ll ensure your electrics are safe, modern, and fully compliant.
Consumer Unit Upgrades - Many properties in Portesham—particularly older homes—still have outdated fuse boxes. These can present a safety risk and may not comply with current regulations. We carry out consumer unit upgrades in Portesham, installing modern boards with RCD protection, surge protection, and user-friendly labelling.
This upgrade offers peace of mind and ensures your home is equipped to handle today’s electrical demands—ideal for growing families, modern appliances, or landlords preparing for inspection.
EICRs – Electrical Installation Condition Reports. An EICR (Electrical Installation Condition Report) is a legal requirement for landlords and highly recommended for homeowners, especially those with older properties or before buying/selling. We offer EICRs in Portesham, thoroughly assessing the safety and condition of your electrical system.
Our reports are clear, practical, and written without unnecessary jargon. If remedial work is required, we’ll explain your options and handle the fixes promptly and professionally.
Full and Partial Rewires - If your home is more than 30 years old and still has its original wiring, it may be time for a rewire. Common signs include tripping fuses, dated plug sockets, flickering lights, or a lack of outlets. We carry out both full and partial rewires in Portesham, working carefully to minimise disruption while ensuring full compliance with modern standards.
Our team takes extra care in older homes to protect plasterwork, stone walls, and period features where possible.
